Thanks Carl, those are in the price range, with better features than I had seen else where too. I have got plenty of external drives too. Just got another TB today. I ahve a three x back storage policy. ie nothing is backed up unless you have it backed up three times. Usually I do a CD, DVD and on HD. More recently though all on HD x 3.
With regard to netbooks I have taken a bit of a look at HN and Office works so far, will take long look at JB now.
